Review
SuperAnnotate's SME (subject-matter expert) recruitment arm, run through sme.careers, sources domain experts for enterprise AI data work spanning text, image, and video annotation. As an established enterprise AI-data company rather than a newer gig platform, it brings more institutional backing than many competitors.
Pay for domain experts runs $17-40/hr, on a per-project basis, with a notable 8-hour daily work cap — a guardrail against overwork, but also a hard ceiling on daily earnings.
Pros
- Backed by an established enterprise AI-data company (SuperAnnotate, founded 2018)
- 8-hour daily work limit protects against burnout-style overwork
Cons
- The 8-hour daily cap also limits how much you can earn in a given day
- Per-project payment structure makes income timing unpredictable
- Domain-expert pay ($20-40/hr) is mid-pack, not a standout
Pricing
Free to join. Pay ranges $17-$40/hr, paid per project.
